Vince Staples is ready to take on a shift at Lumon Industries in the next season of Severance.

The second season of the Ben Stiller-helmed Apple TV+ series premiered last month, and now the 31-year-old rapper and actor is pitching himself for a slot in future episodes.

“Season 3 needs a Dominican intern call me @BenStiller,” wrote Staples, who is Haitian-American, on his X account on Saturday.

“Lumon is listening,” Stiller, 59, wrote back in a quote tweet, referencing the series’ fictional corporation.

Stiller, who serves as Severance’s executive producer, confirmed last November that work on Season 3 was “starting up” in an interview with Collider.

“You have a responsibility to the audience that you’re going somewhere with it,” he told Collider’s Steve Weintraub. “That’s always been a part of it for us, really understanding where it’s heading to, and Apple’s been really supportive of that and been sensitive to what the story is and not saying, ‘Okay, this is something that has to keep going as long as it’s successful.’

“It should go as long as the story goes, and that’s something we have an idea of, and we’re working towards as we’re starting up our Season 3 work,” Stiller added.

The cast of the series stunned New York City commuters last month ahead of Season 2’s premiere when they performed inside of a glass box in the middle of Grand Central Station.

Severance’s second season is streaming on Apple TV+ with new episodes airing every Friday through March 21.
